G'day Dave! :wave:

She's getting pretty close to paint, so can't give anything away really!

http://i182.photobucket.com/albums/x10/mesatinken/Picture209362028Medium29.jpg

Rattler is at Custom Commaro Concepts in Newcastle. Wayne is the owner who is a full custom oldschool fabricator! He pushes the boundaries and his work can only really relate to people like Chip Foose and Boyd Connington in my opinion.

Stu's been down to see him and is sending his car there very soon!

PM me for his number if you'd like it mate


Scotty

[VooDoo]

Bout time you updated this isnt it mate.....

looking good!

[Rattler]

WOW! :eek: I don't even have those photos yet! Looking great, I'm very impressed

[BrettSS]

Awesome work so far mate, I can't wait to see it finished off up at Summernats.

Were the mini tubs easy to do and were they costly? Would love to do some one day to fit some 15x10's on the rear and go for a Pro Street look for something different... ;)

[Rattler]

She rolled out of paint on Friday. All the running gear will be put in this week (trans/diff/brakes/wheels etc etc etc) then the interior will start next week. I'm just a tad excited :breakdance:

She'll be ready for Summernats :)

[BrettSS]

She'll be ready for Summernats :)

Sounds good, I've entered my car for Summernats so hopefully I will be able to see it in the flesh. :)

[Rattler]

I know it's been along time between drinks, but am slowly getting a few photos fed through.

Here are a couple of colour matching the blower and coil covers and now there's a heap of polishing being done. Apologies for the quality of the photos as they were taken with a phone.

We are still looking at Autosalon Melbourne August 28&29 at this stage

[Rattler]

Well guys, I finally made my way down to Beresfield on Friday to meet Matt from G-Trim and am sooooo glad I did!! To say I'm very happy would be an understatement!! Photos do not do this paint job justice! Wayne will need it for another 3-4weeks and he'll be finished and it will then go up to Sydney for Matt to do all the custom work for the interior! We are still hoping and planning for Summernats and I'll drive her there from Sydney.

Here are a few shots
